[Q] Question about Device Encryption and Roms for HTC One? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a t-mobile HTC One. My job has google apps/gmail for our email service and to connect to it they have a policy in place via google policy device manager to force android device encryption if you connect to it. And I must have my work email on my phone.
I hate the stock 4.2.1 that came with my HTC One (for all the reasons everyone hates it) so I rooted it and tried a few roms. I really liked Maximus and Android Revolution roms based on 4.3 but my problem is that everytime there is an update to the rom I am unable to install it without wiping the device first due to the device encryption. Its a big pain because there is an update almost weekly.
Is there anyway that anyone knows of that I can run any rom with the android device encryption so I wont have this issue? I have looked at TWRP and it seems they have the feature to access encrypted devices built into the nexus version but not the M7 HTC One so I am at a road block with that and I am thinking I have to give up on roms..
If I cant use a rom I am considering going to either the converting to a 4.3 Google Play Edition or trying to load the factory unrooted 4.3 sense based ruu.
Does anyone out there have any experience with device encryption?

[Q] update on root

hey guys i just gotta a new software update on my htc one and i just realized that you cannot update your device if rooted because each time i try and install the new update it just boots into recovery which im not sure if thats suppose to happen or not. Anyways i tried this app called voodoo ota rootkeeper but each time i push protect root it just restarts my phone instead of giving me the option to temporarily un-root. Is there any other way how i can update my phone Thanks.
i am kinda confused what you are trying to achieve, you are rooted on a stock rom, but you want to update the ota, is that correct? my guess is that you have changed some system or other files (or changed kernel, or put a custom recovery) if anything of the previous is true, you'd have to go back to complete stock and then install the ota... or just get a custom rom there are 4.2 out there you know.
When you unlock the bootloader, some HTC apps are automatically deleted. If you're trying to install an official OTA, it will check for those apps and abort the install if they're not there. The only way to install it will be to get those apps back, or restore from an NAND backup that has them.
Or, alternatively, use one of the custom ROMs from either these forums or the HTC One International forums. They're way better anyway, and are running on Android 4.2.2.
yeah all i wanna do is upgrade to 4.2 so i gusse the best thing to do is just install a custom rom then and sorry sorta new to all this stuff
If all you want is 4.2 then you would need to flash either trickdroid or arhd latest version, I don't think 4.2 is even officially released yet as an ota anyway

alright thanks. but what is OTA exactly I just downloaded this app (voodoo OTA rootkeeper) from the google play store which was suppose to let me temporarily un-root my phone so i could update to the new software

[Q] A Few Questions

I got my HTC One yesterday and rooted it, but I have some queries. I modded my old Xperia Play a couple of years ago but I've forgotten most things about modding phones, my questions are:
1. I used Titanium Backup to remove some apps that I'll never use like Facebook, Chrome browser, and Google+, but if I restart the phone the apps will be back on it. For the moment I've just frozen those apps, so is it impossible to completely remove them?
2. Am I able to move apps to the sd card? I tried using Android Assistant but had no luck with it.
3. If there is a big update, how would I go about updating the phone (OTA?)? It is not possible doing it the normal way if the phone is rooted, correct?
4. Are there any roms that are far superior to the stock rom that you would recommend using?
Thank you in advance for your help.

1. If you flash a custom rom then you can remove the apps permanently using rom cleaner. Some custom roms allow you to do this upon install.
2. Leaving the apps where they are should not be a problem.... there's plenty of space for them particularly if you remove the ones you don't need.
3. In order to obtain OTA updates you would need to flash the stock recovery and relock the bootloader... using a custom rom will not allow OTA from HTC but these are usually updated far more frequently by the devs anyway. Some custom roms have their own OTA update system.
4. There are many custom roms available in the dev section.... some are close to stock with enhancements whilst others can be heavily themed. Usually the devs work with the latest available from HTC then improve it. Stable custom roms based on android 4.2.2 were available long before HTC started to roll it out. I am Using Android Revolution HD 12.1 which is stock like. The benefit of this is, as with all custom roms, you have the ability to install the vast range of mods available to enhance the device.

1) Just delete the apk's for the apps you don't use, straight from the ROM you decide to flash (just be careful not to remove anything other apps depend on)
2) Not sure, the One doesn't has an SD Card in the traditional sense so in essence, it's all internal memory.
3) You'd have to install a stock ROM like the one in mike1986's thread .. install stock recovery .. re-lock your bootloader. This would allow you to receive OTA updates but obviously you would need to root again but that's easily done by re pushing custom recovery.
4) ARHD 12.1 ... Without a doubt mate, it's just a pure improvement on stock which is always going to be the best, most stable ROM ... Also try ARHD GE, the Google Edition one, also by mike1986.

Sprint HTC One 4.3 stock rooted WiFi tether possible?

This has probably been asked a billion times, but I'm sick of Sprint blocking tethering on my phone. I've had the phone since October, and I really miss tethering, which has worked on my previous Android phones flawlessly.
Has anyone EVER at any point gotten WiFi tethering to work with their Sprint HTC One M7?
I've tried a bunch of apps, and absolutely nothing has ever worked. I'd even be happy with USB tethering, if it worked.
Are there any proven methods, app, mod/zip or otherwise? I don't want to install a different rom, but I would consider updating OTA, if it doesn't kill my root and custom recovery.
BTW I'm running 3.05.651.6 (Stock 4.3 S-ON)
Thanks.
You're probably going to have to install another ROM as getting anything of that ilk to work on stock is slim.
Were you trying to stay on that particular firmware with Sense 5? There is a ROM that I used for quite some time and it worked. It will require a firmware update (which you can do without having to relock to do). Here.

[Q] TWRP Update

now that lollipop is here, prepping for a new ROM.
been so long using BadBoyz as a daily driver without flashing anything else that I'm still on TWRP 2.6.3.0. Are there any issues jumping all the way to 2.8.4.0? IIRC there was some mention of incompatible backups or changes to where it stores or lost SD location with new firmware.
I plan to update TWRP, update firmware, install new lollipop ROM and hoping for a smooth transition.
Anything I need to be aware of that would prevent that???
Don't know about the jump of versions on TWRP. I can say I have missed an incremental upgrades, ie 2.4.1 to 2.4.4, without issue.
The main purpose of my response is to urge you strongly to make a back up of your current, functioning ROM. I tried several different Lollipop ROMs on my Sprint M7 before I found one that functioned. I could not connect on data, and could not send text messages on most of the ROMs.
There is a new Lollipop RUU for the M7. I flashed it earlier today. It is stock, and has all the Sprint and Google bloat. And it appears that there isn't a true root, can't uninstall bloat using Root App Delete.

Yeah - I wouldn't ever take an OTA at this point. Waiting for the BadBoyz team to release their L ROM.

[Q] Unable to update

Hi, first I want state that I am not a dev, so I want to thank all the devs out there for making things possible for us reg users.
I am running TWRP v2.5.0.0, rooted.
HTC One M7 (AT&T)
Android 4.1.2
HTC Sense 5.0
Software # 1.26.502.15
HTC SDK API level 5.12
(currently backed up incase I brick)
I have 2 things I am seeking to solve. Any comments/feed back is greatly appreciated. If you provide me the steps that would make it easier.
1) updating app issue.
I am having an issue with updating apps. my HTC one M7 keeps telling me I don't have enough storage space. I checked i have total of 32 gigs cap with 18 gigs used.
I cleared my delvik/cache already. Every time i try to update google maps or youtube or anything, keeps bringing me to manage apps to uninstall to free up space
2) How to get rid of AT&T bloatware that is pre installed? (not too important issue, but wanted to know)
I use Titanium back up to uninstall hem, but they show up after refresh. Seems to be part of the phone and can't get rid of them.
If there is a rom out there without the bloatware, please link me to it and I will recover using twrp.

To remove bloat on a AT&T phone you need an insecure kernel - try elemental X or Bulletproof
you recovery and software / firmware are all 2 years old ...Why ??
Follow the instructions here and get your phone up to date

At the time i go the phone, all I did was unroot it. Nothing went wrong, everything was okay was able to dowload apps etc. Now I have problems updating the app it keeps saying my phone storage doesn't have enough space...which doesn't make sense since my m7 has 30+ gigs and I only used like 18. I am trying to figure out why and how to fix that...so to answer you my phone was working fine for 2 years and didn't see the need to fix what was not broken at the time.
PS: thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it.

Their are Huge driver and system improvements in the 3.x - 4.x and 5.x firmwares at least update to one of them
and S-off your phone with Rumrunner before you go past 3.x.502.x other wise it cost $25 to s-off with sunshine on firmware 4.x and up

I followed the S-off instructions and it went through to it's first fermentating stage and loaded a series of dots...then it just says Enter to Exit.....
I check S is still on.....
What's is wrong?
